London, 9 July 1906 -  London, 14 April 1983

"Today, few composers are blessed to combine artistic success with such deep humility as Lutyens did. She often said it was work itself that stimulated her imagination. This attitude is reflected in her large and extraordinarily varied œuvre. One can only hope that future generations will also appreciate her magnificent music, finding joy and solace in Lutyens' unique artistic cosmos." Robert Saxton - 1996 (Source: www.uymp.co.uk).
